The Pedestrian

A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Here is where you'll find the free demo for our game The Pedestrian!

If you haven't seen it before, The Pedestrian is a 2.5D side-scrolling puzzle platformer that takes an interesting twist on the genre. It's a build-your-own-solution game with a unique art style centered around public signs, e.g., male & female bathroom symbols, elevator symbol, etc. The Pedestrian is set to release in 2018. It will be available on Steam Mac & PC.

Planning, moving, connecting, adjusting, tweaking, winning! Puzzles are simple - get from the start to the end, but as they say, "It's not the destination, it's the journey." Use creativity to rearrange and connect the signs to create a path to continue your journey. The Pedestrian must use his creative ability and puzzle-solving skills to avoid and overcome obstacles in the signs.

Disclaimer: The demo below lasts about 10 minutes. The goal is to teach the player the basic puzzle mechanics and give a taste of the environment. Please keep in mind this is the "tutorial area" so all the puzzles are very basic. Thanks for playing!

Great original concept. Well executed. Good grapics. I really enjoyed it.

I do however have a little critism:

1. The jumping doesn't always work. Sometimes my character didn't jump when I pressed the jump button. It wasn't easy for me to recreate when it didn't work, but I think it's something like this: Jump, land, walk a few steps, press the jump button again, and it didn't work.

2. I wound like the cursor to disapear when I'm not in "puzzle mode". I don't know if it's possible in Unity though

Otherwise I hope you introduce more mecanics as the game progresses. Mabye something where something in the background has an impact on the signs and the other way around. A little bit like in The Witness. I might be a little late on that suggestion though.

I saw a video for this game a few weeks ago. Saw it on my wishlist and remembered there was a demo. I LOVE IT! very unique and very addictive. The demo levels are pretty easy, but i can see the difficulty escalating very very nicely with the mechanics you have set in place. 10000% will buy as soon as its available to.

This is an interesting game that has an awesome, unique spin from your average puzzle games. Some will be so time-consuming that it gets boring very quick. Not this one! I could definitely see a lot more crazy obstacles being added to boggle you. I'm curious of when the full release will be?

This is a really cool game with a really cool concept! The graphics are incredible too. But I have one small complaint; I'm wondering if it would be possible for the keys to be picked up automatically when you ran past them, that way you don't have to stop and press E for everything. As far as I can see, there is never a time when you don't want to pick up a key, so I don't think this would become a problem.

Thanks for the suggestion. The only reason we aren't doing that now, is the elevator uses W to go up. So it would mean you could never jump on an elevator. Which might not be a bad thing. We'll give it some thought.

I know I'm like a year late to this one. But I had seen the game a few times and had wanted to play it myself. Glad to see that it's still in development! I'll definitely be playing the full version when it's done!

This is such an interesting and fun game. I really liked moving between each puzzle and the way you introduced new concepts with animations in the environment. I'll be sure to get the full game when it hits steam
